I was pretty sure this day would come so a few years ago I just went and got a sbr tax stamp for a couple of my lowers so I didnt have to fool with the brace.

No. The AG signed it on the 13th. It has yet to be published.

It will not stand up to any legal challenges...

Did I read that you can register it at no cost during the 120 day period? If so you can essentially make it a SBR and avoid the tax. But if the below VVVV occurs and it does not pass legal muster, then you have willingly and needlessly registered a weapon with the fed gov

No cost besides admitting to an agency with a not so great track record of being upstanding people that you committed a crime and are in possession of an "illegal" firearm.

No crime was committed, they just changed the rules mid game. Which I suppose in retrospect tells you all you need to know about the character and morals of the agency you are about to offer unnecessary data to

Incorrect. Sort of. So you send these fools all of your information as well as pictures as proof that you already own the gun. The “I got you” part of it is when after 120 days these snowflakes still haven’t given you their blessing, you now have in your possession something that is illegal. We all know that it would take them years to process all of the applications for approval. AND you’ve already proved their case for them by sending them pictures of it. Aside from that, there are so many other legal issues with it that I don’t think it will ever see the light of day. But they’ll keep on trying.

So since you register the actual weapon as an SBR and not the brace. Could you just register any weapon as an SBR for free and say it has a brace??? I may be completely misunderstanding this.

guess mine are destroyed...

Funny to me. This administration wants to take out our rights for multiple semi autos and braced pistols. They also just said that to compete with the US government we’d need nukes. Well why take away from us if we need nukes and tanks. Freaking joke. Come and take them. I don’t own a single gun registered in my name.

This is me when it comes to the information in this post

I heard it has to be a pistol brace first...no registering your stack of 20 lowers lol
Arfcom saying you are admitting to a felony...
Millions of submissions will tie up the stamp approval process by...years and years?
Let’s not forget the AFT has no problem burning women and children alive

They are claiming they hired and trained more examiners so the approval process for other forms doesn't slow .


As for the admitting to a felony, you for sure are. If they have decided the gun you have is an SBR and you go to register it, you are admitting you have been in possession of an unregistered SBR.

It’s a trap no way they can process that many in 120 days over 40 million owners in the public

Are they going to arrest 40 million of us and put us in prison?

I’m not sure what will happen but there’s no way they can imprison 10 % of the country for this.

Hiring about 2 million new federal correctional officers would be a great jobs program…. not to mention potentially millions of temporary construction jobs to build thousands of new prisons.

They would need more than that. Plus all the business the funeral homes, cemeteries etc. would get.

Maybe this whole thing is just the latest stimulus package.

Don't put it past the Democrats to try and lock up a huge chunk of R voters and/or make them felons unable to vote.

yeah no kidding... you know how we said we'd do an automatic permitting? we changed our minds... you're all automatic felons. Good way to remove 30 million gun voters from the polls.

Except for 26 USC 5848…….

I thought I read you only had to apply by the deadline, not receive approval and all.

That is likely correct (from the statute that I posted above) but it won’t play well in this forum.

[Artos]

IF it is searchable, then they only know if the transferee acquired a pistol, long gun or other / receiver as that is the 411 FFL's give to NICS...they would need seize the entire 4473 to know the make, model & SN.

Most 4473's where a LTC was given are not reported to NICS.

When a background check is called in, don’t they give the serial number of the gun along with the purchaser’s info? (SS #, DL #, etc)

last gun I bought; I could have sworn I heard the salesman giving them that info.

I thought so too, even with my LTC I could swear the Academy people read off the serial number when calling it in. It's been a while though.

Correct. If I remember correctly, the issue that arose via whistleblower was that they were keeping massive files with PDFs of 4473s that they were obtaining by taking pictures during audits. This is what they claim isn't searchable. I believe there were allegations of a readily available file with a toggle switch for a search function.


Not to mention what we learned from the 80% and form 1 silencer debacle which is they will just threaten retailers, manufacturers and use willing credit card companies to obtain the information they want.

and anyone who's used PDF writer knows it has a search/find function. You can combine endless PDF's together, then search.

this is the digital equivalent of "I didn't inhale" LOL

so it's not a database, it is a PDF that is searchable? or have they already searched the PDF's and put that information into a database?

just trying to make sure the inaccurate information we spread is accurate. haha.

I’m not sure what industry you’re in but every significant company in existence maintains a database. They can be compiled using data from various sources. So yes, voice to text, spreadsheets and even pdf files.

Databases are cheap and easy. Everyone has one. I am confused why you are applying a conspiracy theory argument about a massive federal agency having a thorough database on the items they are in existence to regulate.

If you have this incredible knowledge of what is actually used, then tell us all because we’d love to see someone with first hand knowledge.

[kcmarullo]

Nor serial numbers are given !

[Artos]

Negative on any 411 regarding the firearm itself other than pistol, long gun or other...the only time that happens is when you have a multiple firearm purchase when buying two or more handguns & certain long gun sales like AR's / AK's for the four border states. (thank you fast & furious) One copy goes to ATF & the other to CLEO in your area.

SS is optional
DL is affirmative & We are now also required to give residential 411 if you get a delay to assist the background...all of this rolled out due to Uvalde.

You can put 10 million PDF documents into a folder and plenty of software can parse and search through the contents of them for keywords and such. Everything's searchable these days.

Correction to my previous post. The Auditors taking pictures of 4473s was a separate issue that arose last year (although I'm sure they were being used for the same purpose).

They had almost 1 billion records from FFLs surrendering them and other sources, they were putting them into a searchable database for years until they eventually got found out and were told to stop. They pinky swore they would make it unsearchable.

I've been an ffl since 07 & have only had two pics of 4473's taken & that was on my first or 2nd audit by a new / in training inspecting agent if I recall. FWIW
